随着扩散模型的快速发展,根据文本提示生成高质量图像已不再困难。文本到图像生成的关键在于如何优化模型输出,使其更符合人类意图或提示。现有方法通常对整张图像进行均匀优化,忽略了人类视觉系统在观察图像时会优先关注显著区域、忽略非显著区域的特性。因此,即使借助大型多模态模型进行优化,均匀处理仍导致效果不佳。为此,我们提出显著性引导的扩散潜在变量优化方法(SGOOL)。首先通过显著性检测器模拟人类视觉注意机制,定位显著区域;随后直接优化扩散潜在变量,避免额外模型训练;同时利用可逆扩散过程,实现内存恒定的高效计算。实验表明,该方法在多个指标和人工评估中均优于现有方法,在图像质量和提示对齐方面表现更优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the rapid advances in diffusion models, generating decent images from text prompts is no longer challenging. The key to text-to-image generation is how to optimize the results of a text-to-image generation model so that they can be better aligned with human intentions or prompts. Existing optimization methods commonly treat the entire image uniformly and conduct global optimization. These methods overlook the fact that when viewing an image, the human visual system naturally prioritizes attention toward salient areas, often neglecting less or non-salient regions. That is, humans are likely to neglect optimizations in non-salient areas. Consequently, although model retaining is conducted under the guidance of additional large and multimodality models, existing methods, which perform uniform optimizations, yield sub-optimal results. To address this alignment challenge effectively and efficiently, we propose Saliency Guided Optimization Of Diffusion Latents (SGOOL). We first employ a saliency detector to mimic the human visual attention system and mark out the salient regions. To avoid retraining an additional model, our method directly optimizes the diffusion latents. Besides, SGOOL utilizes an invertible diffusion process and endows it with the merits of constant memory implementation. Hence, our method becomes a parameter-efficient and plug-and-play fine-tuning method. Extensive experiments have been done with several metrics and human evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of SGOOL in image quality and prompt alignment.
